CHANGE OF MEAN TIDAL PEAKS AND RANGE DUE TO ESTUARINE WATERWAY DEEPENING

Hanz D. Niemeyer

Abstract

The deepening of estuarine waterways enforces essential changes of mean tidal water level peaks and range. Legal requirements ask for their determination by preservation of evidence. A method has been established to evaluate these effects quantitatively by statistical tools for each measure, even in the case of subsequent deepenings.
